Not saying that Jefferson will discover his game from 2021 but better players in the interior DL will give him a chance to be a better player himself. Let's put it this way, if he has better players on the interior & he still becomes invisible then we'll know for sure that his career is coming to an end. No one can really judge Jefferson fairly right now with the slugs we have starting inside on the DL.

They have a literal liability at the heart of the defense.

No kidding, Brady loses touches if we're behind. All running backs have that happen. It doesn't mean that we don't pay. Oliveira's a tank. He responds to more work. So, if we have a lead in the fourth qurter, we unleash the running attack & he controls the game wearing down opoosition defenses. Last year, we had a dumbass OC who never used him properly all season long. Like I said, we lose Oliveira it's a clear sign that this is a cheap organization. That they don't spend any money, on other teams or on our free agents. One other question, just what is astronomical when it comes to salary with Lawler, Hatcher, Zach, Harris, & Philpott??

I am not qualified to judge OL issues, but it sure seemed to me last year that Brady was getting the holes he needed at the point of attack and that we were getting OL into the second level often enough. The ugly OL moments happened in pass pro, Zach dropping back against teams rushing 3-4 -- sometimes Zach wouldn't even get a steamboat before he had to start scrambling, he'd have a DT in his lap or an DE coming round the horn. Which makes me hopeful that if we get pass pro sorted out, Zach will return to form.

Willie is kind of a classic issue at the rush end position. His ceiling is so disruptive, but his every down play is terrible. The best he's ever been is a rotational guy which isn't a slight, it's just a fact of the skills and down to down compete level he has. If you can have him play 6/10 snaps on D, you'd be happy. And that's even in his prime. I don't really see a reason to bring him back at anywhere near his current salary. If he'd sign for like $115,000 and a ton of bonuses I'd consider it.

Garrett would be in prison for manslaughter if the helmet had connected on that swing.

I’m guessing Harris decided not to retire cuz they gave him Zach money.

I’m just saying maybe if Willie played with better tackles he’d be more motivated also tho. I mean. Ya. Garrett is like generational

I would think he’s 500-600k. 4 I think. He also lead the backs in total yards despite the dip in carries.

Vividly picturing a couple notable examples where he's downfield and could easily get a piece of someone but just does nothing. He's just ******* embarrassing.

Put Jefferson on a DL that gets pressure from the Tackles & I'm pretty sure you'd see his production increase noticeably. We talk about Koala bringing down the OL & how everyone suffers for his poor play... Take Thomas out of the mix, get some size & an actual run stopper at the 0 & 1 technique in a 3 & 4 man front & he'd be a different player.

The rare times kolankowski actually got a block at the point of attack Oliveira would inevitably have a huge gain. Simply put our centre sucks and bringing the heavy sets we used a ton of don't mean **** when the middle guy is beat so badly so often by 1 guy.

Not really a natural centre, but proficient enough at C that it doesn’t matter imo. He could easily be a starter in this league sooner rather than later at either g spot or c. I’d add, no guard has looked terribly great next to kola. Eli has excelled in heavy sets on the edge including in pass pro and inside. I have no question that eli, and any ar ni C in the league would be an upgrade over kola. he’s that bad. It is very hard to properly identify how good an ol is/can be when next to a turn style. The insertion of bond at G and hardrick kicking out to rt took us from a team giving up among the most hits/pressures/sacks to the best ol in the league. Id sure like to see how wallace, neuf, eli, vibert and/or vanterpool play with out kola giving up instant disruption and pressure as fast as the qb gets the ball. I mean the Ts will play better too. Rando and vanterpool are serious contenders for all kinds of awards if c is fixed.

Trevor Harris extends for one more year... ...and Huff officially to Toronto in Senior Advisor role....

agreed....now by design?...loafing....or deteriorated skill?....thats the bug question and we do see when he turns it on...he can be effective I'd be-resigning him with caveat that he gonna be a mentor/role player with rotational reps And a salary reflective of it, if he agreeable....Or heavy bonus incentive....Guy has value for sure and teams do gameplan with him in mind...but he needs to be in a 15 to 20 rep range...full out rush end reps...Not the 20+ he was doing Camp will be interesting...especially if it's a real camp...which we havnt seen in yrs

So you're saying as long as he's lined up against Kolankowski, he should be fine?

At guard... he's never got much chance at centre where our actual centee being a matador would be an improvement. Kolankowski spends most of the game wandering around like he's lost.

This game Comrie deserve to win. As is the case this year... The team in front of him couldn't win it for him. Top line is the only thing working. They can't do it all.
